Slaid Cleaves Follow

She sleeps softly beside
And in secrets we abide
Long gone is the sharp pain
Of young love's foolish game

Days fade into night shades beyond love

Sometimes I'm afraid she
Puts too much faith in me
God knows I try but I'm
Bound to fall down sometime

Perfume faint as empty whiskey
Glasses sweet and soft
Dusty bed side table lamp
Throws light on something lost

Outside a cold hand waits
From the gloaming to the dawn
As love sleeps safe in memory
And you hold on, hold on

Perfume faint as empty whiskey
Glasses sweet and soft
Dusty bed side table lamp
Throws light what we've lost

Love fades into night shades beyond love
Days fade into night shades beyond love
Beyond love

She sleeps softly beside
And in secrets we abide
Long gone is the sharp pain
